Εισαγωγή: Η υπερπλασία του έσω χιτώνα παίζει μείζων ρόλο στην επαναστένωση (in-stentrestenosis). Στην παρούσα μελέτη αξιολογήσαμε in vitro την επίδραση της D-24851(κυτταροτοξική ουσία που σταματά τον κυτταρικό κύκλο στο στάδιο G2-M) στονπολλαπλασιασμό των λείων μυϊκών κυττάρων και μελετήσαμε την ασφάλεια και τηνδραστικότητα μίας ενδαγγειακής πρόθεσης (stent) επικαλυμμένης με πολυμερή ουσία πουαπελευθερώνει την D-24851, στην αναστολή της υπερπλασίας του έσω χιτώνα χωρίς ναεμποδίζει την αναγεννητική ικανότητα του ενδοθηλίου σε in vivo πειραματικό μοντέλο.Υλικό και Μέθοδοι: Γυμνά μεταλλικά stent (n=6), stent επικαλυμμένα μόνο με πολυμερήουσία (polymer-coated, n=7) και stent επικαλυμμένα με πολυμερή ουσία πουαπελευθερώνουν 31±1μg (low-dose, n=7), 216±8 μg (high-dose, n=6) ή 1774±39 μg(extreme-dose, n=5) της D-24851 εμφυτεύτηκαν στις μηριαίες αρτηρίες λευκών New Zealandκουνελιών. Τα πειραματόζωα θυσιάστηκαν στις 28 ημέρες για ιστομορφομετρική ανάλυση.Για την αξιολόγηση της ενδοθηλιακής αναγέννησης στις 90 ημέρες, 12 πειραματόζωαχρησιμοποιήθηκαν για την τοποθέτηση polymer-coated (n=3), low dose (n=3), high dose(n=3) or extreme dose (n=3) ενδαγγειακών προθέσεων.Αποτελέσματα: In vitro η D-24851 αναστέλλει την υπερπλασία των λείων μυϊκών κυττάρωνκαι επάγει την απόπτωση τους χωρίς να αυξάνει την επαγωγή της heat shock protein 70(HSP-70), μία κυτταροπροστατευτική και αντι-αποπτωτική πρωτεΐνη. Η θεραπεία με lowdoseD-24851 stents συνδυάστηκε με 38% (P=0.029) μείωση της υπερπλαστικής περιοχήςτου έσω χιτώνα και 35% (P=0.003) μείωση της επι τοις εκατό στένωσης του αυλού σεσύγκριση με τα γυμνά μεταλλικά stents. Ο τραυματισμός και η φλεγμονή του αρτηριακού τοιχώματος δεν παρουσίασαν σημαντικές διαφορές μεταξύ των ομάδων. Τα επικαλυμμέναμόνο με πολυμερή ουσία stents εμφάνισαν παρόμοια ανάπτυξη νεοιστού σε σύγκριση με ταγυμνά μεταλλικά stents. Ωστόσο, όλες οι ομάδες των stents με D-24851 παρουσίασαν ατελήενδοθηλιοποίηση συγκρινόμενα με τα polymer-coated stents.Συμπεράσματα: Οι επικεκαλυμμένες ενδαγγειακές προσθέσεις με πολυμερή ουσία καιχαμηλη δόση D-24851 μειώνουν σημαντικά την υπερπλασιά του έσω χιτώνα. Λόγω τηςατελούς ενδοθηλιοποίησης, μακράς διάρκειας μελέτες είναι απαραίτητες για ναπιστοποιήσουν ότι η αναστολή του νεοιστού παραμένει και μετά τις 28 ημέρες.

The cloning of a cDNA encoding a new member of the highly conserved mammalian 70-kDa heat shock protein (hsp 70) family termed PBP74 was recently reported. Critical to an understanding of the function of this new hsp 70 is delineating its subcellular localization. Here we use a variety of immunological and biochemical approaches both in vitro and in vivo to demonstrate that PBP74 is imported into and resides in mitochondria. By confocal immunofluorescence microscopy PBP74 is detected in mitochondria, colocalizing with the mitochondrial 60-kDa heat shock protein. To address the inherent problem of serological cross-reactivity among the hsp70 family members, an influenza virus hemagglutinin epitope tag was introduced into the PBP74 cDNA. The epitope-tagged PBP74 protein transiently expressed in L cells localized to mitochondria. Moreover, deletion of the N-terminal 46-amino acid presequence results in a cytosolic localization of the epitope-tagged protein. Cell fractionation studies demonstrated PBP74 in purified mitochondria in a protease-protected location. After coupled transcription-translation the precursor of PBP74 is imported into isolated yeast mitochondria, where it becomes processed to the mature protein. According to a subfractionation of the mitochondria, the imported protein was found to be localized in the matrix space. Import in vitro is time- and temperature-dependent, requires matrix ATP, and is abolished upon depletion of the membrane potential across the mitochondrial inner membrane. Similarly, in mammalian cells PBP74 is synthesized as a pre-protein that requires membrane potential-dependent import into mitochondria for its maturation. Taken together, our data demonstrate that PBP74 is a mammalian mitochondrial hsp70.

ABSTRACT The 70-kDa recombinant Candida albicans heat shock protein (CaHsp70) and its 21-kDa C-terminal and 28-kDa N-terminal fragments (CaHsp70-Cter and CaHsp70-Nter, respectively) were studied for their immunogenicity, including proinflammatory cytokine induction in vitro and in vivo, and protection in a murine model of hematogenous candidiasis. The whole protein and its two fragments were strong inducers of both antibody (Ab; immunoglobulin G1 [IgG1] and IgG2b were the prevalent isotypes) and cell-mediated immunity (CMI) responses in mice. CaHsp70 preparations were also recognized as CMI targets by peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy human subjects. Inoculation of CaHsp70 preparations into immunized mice induced rapid production of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha, peaking at 2 to 5 h and declining within 24 h. CaHsp70 and CaHsp70-Cter also induced gamma interferon (IFN-γ), IL-12, and IL-10 but not IL-4 production by CD4+ lymphocytes cocultured with splenic accessory cells from nonimmunized mice. In particular, the production of IFN-γ was equal if not superior to that induced in the same cells by whole, heat-inactivated fungal cells or the mitogenic lectin concanavalin A. In immunized mice, however, IL-4 but not IL-12 was produced in addition to IFN-γ upon in vitro stimulation of CD4+ cells with CaHsp70 and CaHsp70-Cter. These animals showed a decreased median survival time compared to nonimmunized mice, and their mortality was strictly associated with organ invasion by fungal hyphae. Their enhanced susceptibility was attributable to the immunization state, as it did not occur in congenitally athymic nude mice, which were unable to raise either Ab or CMI responses to CaHsp70 preparations. Together, our data demonstrate the elevated immunogenicity of CaHsp70, with which, however, no protection against but rather some enhancement of Candida infection seemed to occur in the mouse model used.

At least four proteins of 70,000 to 75,000 molecular weight (70-75K) were synthesized from mRNA which hybridized with a cloned heat shock gene previously shown to be localized to the 87A and 87C heat shock puff sites. These in vitro-synthesized proteins were indistinguishable from in vivo-synthesized heat shock-induced proteins when analyzed on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. A comparison of the pattern of this group of proteins synthesized in vivo during a 5-min pulse or during continuous labeling indicates that the 72-75K proteins are probably not kinetic precursors to the major 70K heat shock protein. Partial digestion products generated with V8 protease indicated that the 70-75K heat shock proteins are closely related, but that there are clear differences between them. The partial digestion patterns obtained from heat shock proteins from the Kc cell line and from the Oregon R strain of Drosophila melanogaster are very similar. Genetic analysis of the patterns of 70-75K heat shock protein synthesis indicated that the genes encoding at least two of the three 72-75K heat shock proteins are located outside of the major 87A and 87C puff sites.

Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV), a member of the genus Tobamovirus (family Virgaviridae), is an economically important virus that has detrimental effects on cucurbit crops worldwide. Understanding the interaction between host factors and CGMMV viral proteins will facilitate the design of new strategies for disease control. In this study, a yeast two-hybrid assay revealed that the CGMMV helicase (HEL) domain interacts with a Citrullus lanatus small heat shock protein (sHSP), and we verified this observation by performing in vitro GST pull-down and in vivo coimmunoprecipitation assays. Measurement of the levels of accumulated sHSP transcript revealed that sHSP is upregulated on initial CGMMV infection in both Nicotiana benthamiana and C. lanatus plants, although not in the systemically infected leaves. We also found that the subcellular localization of the sHSP was altered after CGMMV infection. To further validate the role of sHSP in CGMMV infection, we produced and assayed N. benthamiana transgenic plants with up- and down-regulated sHSP expression. Overexpression of sHSP inhibited viral RNA accumulation and retarded disease development, whereas sHSP silencing had no marked effect on CGMMV infection. Therefore, we postulate that the identified sHSP may be one of the factors modulating host defense mechanisms in response to CGMMV infection and that the HEL domain interaction may inhibit this sHSP function to promote viral infection.

Abstract INTRODUCTION It has been increasingly recognized that glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly heterogeneous disease, which is initiated and sustained by molecular alterations in an array of signal transduction pathways. Heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone to be critically implicated in folding and activation of a diverse group of client proteins, many of which are key regulators of important glioblastoma biology. METHODS To determine the therapeutic potential of targeting Hsp90 in glioblastoma, we assessed the anti-neoplastic efficacy of NXD30001, a brain-penetrating Hsp90 inhibitor as a monotherapy or in combination with radiation, both in Vitro and in Vivo. RESULTS Our results demonstrated that NXD30001 potently inhibited neurosphere formation, growth and survival of CD133 + glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) with the half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) at low nanomolar concentrations. At suboptimal concentrations, inhibition of Hsp90 did not exert cytotoxic activity but rather increased radiosensitivity in GSCs. CD133- GBM cells were less sensitive and not radiosensitized by NXD30001. In lines with its cytotoxic and radiosensitizing effects, NXD30001 dose-dependently decreased phosphorylation protein levels of multiple Hsp90 client proteins, including those playing key roles in GSCs, such as EGFR, Akt, c-Myc, and Notch1. In addition, combining NXD30001 with radiation could impair DNA damage response and ER stress response to induce apoptosis of GSCs. Treatment of orthotopic glioblastoma tumors with NXD30001 extended median survival of tumor-bearing mice by approximately 20% (treated 37 days vs vehicle 31 d, P = .0026). Radiation alone increased median survival of tumor-bearing mice from 31 to 38 d, combination with NXD30001 further extended survival to 43 d (P = .0089). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that GBM stem cells (CD133+) are more sensitive to NXD30001 than non-stem GBM cells (CD133-). Furthermore, combination NXD30001 with radiation significantly inhibits GBM progression than use it as a monotherapy by targeting GSCs.
